In a small office high in the Empire State Building, a time-travel enterprise runs its curious business, and Donald is determined to make Mimi go back to their own world, dead or alive.

David E. Fisher's 1960 story is a wry social-SF and time-travel tale. Clever, entertaining golden-age SF. Read it for a genial story of time-travelers and their tangled affairs in modern Manhattan, where a lovers' quarrel spans the centuries, in a light, well-turned golden-age piece with a sharp comic edge and a neatly ironic complication.
